Now That You Know
Video release date February 18, 2022
Performed by Lisa Jones and Bill Bromfield
Words and music by Lisa Jones Bromfield
We’ve all seen the films
We’ve read the information
We’ve heard the cries for justice
In this divided nation
CHORUS:
Now that you know
How can you go be talking about bootstraps
Now that you know
How can you go overlooking divided roadmaps
We’ve heard the tired lies
Seen what gets represented
We’ve seen the different treatment
Law enforcement has consented
CHORUS:
Now that you know
How can you go thinking we have equal freedom
Now that you know
How can you go letting anyone just get a few crumbs
BRIDGE:
Do something, say something, acknowledge it’s not right
And listen, listen, listen, listen and learn
Collaborate, communicate, follow another way
‘Cause we still leave folks to twist and burn
So listen, listen, listen, listen and learn
We all know folks move up
Knowing people in high places
We think our minds are open
But hire similar names and faces
CHORUS:
Now that your know
How can you go believing there is equal access
Now that you know
How can you go thinking only some deserve success
REFRAIN:
Listen, listen, listen, listen and learn
